    FOREIGN MINISTER MEETS PACE SECRETARY GENERAL


    Minister of Foreign Affairs of Azerbaijan Elmar Mammadyarov met
    Secretary General of the Council of Europe Parliamentary Assembly Bruno
    Haller.

    Minister Mammadyarov described Mr. Haller's the visit to Azerbaijan as
    a positive event, which would give additional impetus to development of
    active cooperation between the Milli Majlis of Azerbaijan and PACE in
    the sphere of integration of the country into the European structures.

    The PACE Secretary General in his turn emphasized the importance of to
    Azerbaijan of establishment of the country's close cooperation with
    PACE. The guest remembered the meeting between heads of South Caucasian
    parliaments held in Strasbourg in May and pointed to political
    significance of such events. He expressed satisfaction with fulfillment
    by Azerbaijan of its commitments and obligations to the Council of
    Europe.

    Touching upon the measures for peaceful resolution of the
    Armenia-Azerbaijan conflict over Nagorno-Karabakh, Minister E.
    Mammadyarov said in particular that the fact that the conflict remains
    unsolved so far has a negative impact on development of the region, and
    causes economic and humanitarian problems not only for Azerbaijan but
    also Armenia itself.

    Bruno Haller noted that PACE would be actively cooperating with the
    Milli Majlis and other governmental structures of Azerbaijan in future,
    and stressed as a Secretary General he would do his best in this
    direction.

    During the meeting, the parties have also exchanged views on a number
    of other issues of mutual interest.
